July 8, 2022,Etappe 2 Von Fulda nach Bad Hersfeld – Fulda-Radweg R1
Very nice bike ride. Start is at the WoMo pitch johannesaue. Via the Wiesenmühle brewery, shortly to the parking space weimarers@trasse, it goes in the direction of Bad Hersfeld. Everything paved. Super flat bike path. In Schlitz I can recommend the country butcher shop in the center of town.

From Fulda we continue to Schlitz, a very beautiful medieval town with a castle and lots of half-timbered houses. Then on to Bad Hersfeld. Worth seeing here are the monastery ruins and the old town.

The Fulda cycle path from Fulda to Bad Hersfeld is fantastically beautiful! Constantly changing landscapes, great quality cycle paths and cozy places on both sides of the path. Make sure you take a detour to Schlitz!!! Very beautiful castle town with winding alleys, great half-timbered houses and a quaint brewery! It's worth taking a short break here!

The altitude is not correct at all, maybe 150 m altitude, mostly downhill.

I started the day... with breakfast! Then off to the city tour, which was only a short distance but very worth seeing and hearing. The 44 hours in Fulda impressed me.

In the afternoon, a nice, leisurely route to Bad Hersfeld. Great weather, no cars and always nice along the fairly wide Fulda valley, forests, meadows and floodplains.

Very nice route with a few nice climbs at the end as the heat increases...the reward is at the Wiesen Mühle🍻

Started today in Fulda in the best weather. A very beautiful route through lots of nature. Made a lovely detour to Schlitz, the city of four castles, which is well worth seeing.
The destination is Bad Hersfeld, also a very beautiful place with lots of half-timbered houses (over 200 houses) and its abbey ruins (the largest Romanesque church ruin in …
